Sleep among a pack of wolves at Canada’s luxe-adventure Parc Omega Wolf Cabins
"Sleeping with the fishes" might sound scary, but it's nothing compared to this one-of-a-kind adventure hotel
Wolves looking through the bedroom window at Canada's Parc Omega Wolf Cabin.

For some nature-loving travelers, pitching a basic camping tent in the woods is adventurous enough. Others are willing to pay handsomely to travel halfway around the world for their first African safari experience. If you crave even more — if you fancy sleeping with some of the world’s greatest predators — this one-of-a-kind glamping experience might be for you.

Waking up in the woods amid a pack of gawking, hungry wolves is not something most of us would pay for. But Canada’s Parc Omega Wolf Cabin isn’t a typical hotel or camping experience. The wildlife park features twin cabins with one-of-a-kind overnight stays. Both of its Wolf Cabins, aptly named Alpha and Omega, are the first in North America with panoramic, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the park’s gray wolf enclosure. Throughout their stay, cabin guests can sleep, eat, and relax mere feet from the pack. With only a thin glass pane separating them from a pack of near-perfect killing machines, it’s certainly a wild and bucket-list-worthy experience.

Delays, layovers, and long flights drive us absolutely crazy. Why? Not just the fact those dig into our vacation time, but they give us horrible jet lag. If you've ever tried to enjoy your time after a long flight, you know your body only wants to see the inside of the hotel room to sleep. If you'd like to do more sightseeing and less napping, our friends at the University of Sydney and the airline Qantas found ways for you to fight the effects of jet lag if you have a long flight ahead of you.

They released the results of a new study, conducted during test flights for Qantas' Project Sunrise Program, which will connect Sydney with London and New York when it begins operations in 2025.
